Abstract:Objective:To study the dissociation constant and oil/water partition coefficient of scutellarein by pH-chromatography. Methods:The dissociation constant of scutellarein is calculated respectively from the retention factors-pH of mobile phase in the pH-chromatography;A oscillate method was established to determine n-octanol/water partition coefficient of scutellarein . Results:The curve of pH-chromatography showed to be suitable for Logistic fit; The pH 30-80 of buffer solution had no influence on the distribution coefficient of scutellarein. Conclusions: pH-chromatography can be used to determine the dissociation constant of scutellarein accurately;The oscillate method can be used to determine the oil/water partition coefficient of scutellarein.
